This is a weak argument. Not only have there been some 10 attacks, how many dozens - or hundreds - have been averted by the police and FBI, several of which were mentioned in the press?
Since the FBI isn't telling, we can speculate anywhere from 10 to 100,000,000.
And the only reason there are relatively fewer muslim attacks is that there are fewer muslims in the US. Look at Norway or other countries with large muslim populations than the US - their proportion of felonies committed, particularly rape of non-muslim women, is FAR greater.
No.
The reason why there are fewer Muslim attacks in America is because America attracts a different kind of Muslim.
The majority of Muslims in America came here during the 1960-1990 period, escaping the violent despots and oppression of the Middle East. The Iraqi-American populations of Detroit are an excellent example...they came here to escape life under Saddam.
In contrast, the European Muslim population immigrated to Europe from the early 1990-today, and are primarily the conservative poor of Turkey and the Middle-East, looking for work. They had no problems living under a Muslim state, but moved for economic reasons.
If you look at the economic status of American Muslims vs. European Muslims, you will see this is the case. American Muslims tend to be white-collar members of the upper-middle class, while European Muslims tend to be blue-collar laborers living in ghettos.
The simple fact is you
cannot characterize over 1 billion people with blanket statements, regardless if you are talking about Muslims, Christians, or Hindus.
